LinkedIn's transformation is worth noting. What started as a professional networking space has shifted into something different—a platform where reach-building trumps genuine connection.
The pattern is clear: hiring posts, profile reviews, direct recruitment pitches flooding inboxes. Job seekers flock in, drawn by the promise of opportunity. But beneath the surface, it's become another follower-farming machine, not unlike X and other social platforms.
The mechanics are predictable. Post high-engagement content, accumulate followers, monetize attention. It's effective, sure. But it raises questions: when growth metrics override authentic professional discourse, what's the actual value? As decentralized networks gain traction, traditional platforms' credibility erosion becomes harder to ignore.

LinkedIn has long been a traffic harvesting machine, there's really nothing new... By the way, will Web3 also follow the same path?

ngl, this is just traditional social media's velocity trap dressed up in business casual. watch how fast attention becomes the product when utility gets fuzzy

I'm already tired of it; LinkedIn is now no different from Xiaohongshu.

Honestly, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor; now it's just a traffic harvesting machine... At least Web3 still has some sense of authenticity.

Haha, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor. Now it's mainly a hub for optimizing resumes and selling courses, and truly valuable conversations are becoming increasingly rare.

LinkedIn has long become corrupt; now it's just a magnifying glass that exposes human greed.

Honestly, LinkedIn has long lost its original flavor. Now it's just a follower farm, selling personal branding here.
